Shell, damn about af returning soon. I thought I got a period around 8 weeks post birth but now I'm thinking it was just the last bit of after birth discharge, which seemed to go on forever! (sorry tmi!) I haven't had anything since
Yes I'll be very disappointed also if we don't win the premiership this year. We've been so close in the past few years, I think this is it!

AJP, you're game dtd without protection! We have a few times, but not recently and I immediately regretted it because we can't afford another baby anytime soon, literally. Won't be dtd anytime soon either, not interested anyway! Eek, you've been awake since 4:30!?!??! Has she had a decent amount of nap time yet?

Ali, I'm not sure if it's much of his medication helping him, but I know I am reading his tired signs a whole lot better now, and he's in the cot now which he seems to prefer a lot more than his snuggle bed! I think before, he was just too over-stimulated and would get over-tired and it ended up being a total pita to settle him once he reached that stage. Don't get me wrong...he is still no angel sleeper! Day times are getting better and seem more settled, routine like, but nights are still crap (except for 2 nights ago when he slept in his snuggle bed for over 2 hours - if only it was like that every night )
Did I read that you are going back to work soon? 2 days? I will be going back 2 days as well, but not until the end of the year. Re the expressing, I will have no time to do that either as I don't get long enough breaks. I have no idea what I'm going to do, because even if I manage to build up a nice milk supply in the freezer, that sorts L out, but I am still going to need to express at least once in the 8 hour work day for the sake of my poor bb's and to keep up my supply! Is that what you're concerned about? I'm sure you can express a few feeds during the week that Ash can have while you're working (she will be on solids as well right?). And congrats on the weight loss

Det, that pilates class sounds great! How do all the bubbas stay happy though? I'm sure L would disrupt the whole class if I went lol.

NZgirl, sounds like Heidi is a dream! Glad that Noah is loving kinder, must make it so much easier (mostly for the parents not having to worry!)

Nai, poor J Hope she is more settled today. Do you think it's more teeth? Does she often do a poo during the night? I don't think L has ever done a poo overnight! That's one thing I'm blessed with not having to deal with lol.

Pinny, so cute when they giggle! L doesn't laugh much, but when he does, it's so adorable, brings tears to my eyes! Sorry if I've missed something, but hope everything is okay with your extended family

AFM, L is currently having his second day sleep. He's already had a 50 min nap earlier this morning, woke up at 9:45am, had his medicine, did his morning poo (he's a pretty regular baby!), playtime, went outside for some fresh air, had a feed and now he's been asleep since 11:40am So far so good!

What does everyone do re bath time? How often? For how long? And what method? I only give L a bath twice a week as I've been told any more regularly and it could make his skin worse (he has eczema and dry patches). He has it at any time of the day, not neccesarily evening. He quite enjoys the water and I'm sure would stay in the bath longer if my back could handle it! He is usually in the bath for 5-10mins, unless I have a bath with him and it's about 10-15mins. He has outgrown his baby bath so he sits in a bath seat which sticks to the bottom of the big bath with suction caps. It can recline so it's easier to wash him. He is still quite wobbly and obviously not sitting up yet, so I have to hold him or he will fall to one side! I fill the bath quite high to keep him warmer, is that bad? Obviously I'm always there so it's not as if it's a real hazard, more just a waste of water! I don't wash his hair or anything (he doesn't really have much to wash!), but I put some natural baby wash stuff in the water so he at least smells nice lol. As soon as I take him out he starts screaming until I give boob! What do you all do at bath time??

Okay well I better go eat or something before he wakes up! xox
